Jonathan Coulton Offers Some Gleeful Turnabout
The TV show Glee may have borrowed Jonathan Coulton's arrangement of "Baby Got Back" without asking him first, but he's got a response of the kind that it'd be hard for the show's makers to criticize without looking churlish. Borrowing it back, and using it to raise money for charity. As CNET puts it, "Coulton has foxily tossed up on iTunes his own version of the song and titled it 'Baby Got Back (In the Style of Glee).' He terms it 'my cover of Glee's cover of my cover.'"
What is Sir Mix-a-lot getting out of all of this?
He's getting back.
I see more of a yo dawg story than an underdog story in this.

So, you're saying you bought into every artifact of geek fandom until Jonathan fucking Coulton? He's the one who was "one of the last straws"? You were just cool with it all until "Code Monkey"?
You may be in a category of lame all your own.
You are welcome on my lawn.
It has no place in the red, white and blue America !!
I mixed together the red, white and blue once. It came out a *fabulous* shade of lilac!
i get the feeling that the person who posted the comment probably doesn't like the idea of mixing colors, either.
Sorry, all this talk of Aaron and Jonathan is preventing me from getting my much needed updates on BitCoin.
I'm making a note here - huge success.

I much prefer the Gilbert and Sullivan version.
You mean this? ;)
